What you need to know about Nicotine Mini Lozenge?

Nicotine Mini Lozenge contains nicotine. When you suck the lozenge, the nicotine is slowly released and absorbed through the lining of the mouth. The lozenge can alleviate some of the unpleasant withdrawal effects that frequently occur when giving up smoking, such as cravings and irritability.

The lozenge can reduce your desire to smoke and help improve your willpower to resist smoking by providing some of the nicotine previously inhaled. Nicotine Mini Lozenge is best suited for those with low nicotine dependency.

It is not recommended for those who have found other forms of nicotine replacement therapy unsatisfactory. The nicotine dependence makes it difficult to stop smoking.

The craving for cigarettes can continue for some time after you have ceased smoking. You still need to use your willpower to resist the urge to smoke. Advice and support will improve your success.
